The rooster wakes up your palate with a combination of fruit and great acidity. Lots of green and citrus aromas, including pineapple and lemon on the nose, with a hint of spice. Medium-bodied and balanced, it has straightforward, juicy tropical and citrus flavors and, a clean, refreshing finish. Great with lighter cuisine or for evening sipping.
Best served chilled or 50°F with sauced fish, Indian/Chinese cuisine, or fresh sheep's milk cheese. This wine marries perfectly with duck breast cooked with green apples and accentuates the bond between the rich and lively green flavors.
